Re: [xmca] FW: National Anthem and Aspergers



What is the US Code? It sounds ominous and authoritarian.

Until the end of the 1960s they used to play the national anthem at the end of films and concerts in Britain. It was abandoned because by then everyone used to dash for the exit anyhow - there is a scene to that effect in an episode of 'Dad's Army' (known in the US?) where Captain Mainwaring gets knocked over in the rush when he stands to attention and salutes. It also accounts for a recording of 'God Save the Queen' by the Duke Ellington Orchestra.
